Having been absent since crashing on the third lap of the Portuguese GP with a hand injury, Honda rider Marquez was cleared to return this weekend at Le Mans for the series’ 1000th grand prix event.
As the clock counted down to zero in the Q2 qualifying session, Marquez sat top of the timesheets by over two tenths having fired in a 1m30.763s while shadowing Pramac’s Jorge Martin.
